Amazon Lays Off Employees in AGI Unit

Amazon has cut jobs in its AGI division, part of a restructuring of its AI operations. The company didn’t disclose numbers but said it is refocusing on initiatives with the most customer value. The move follows earlier cuts: 100+ roles in robotics (March 2026), reductions in Selling Partner Services (May 2026), and ~30,000 corporate jobs since late 2025. Despite layoffs, CEO Andy Jassy continues to emphasize heavy AI investment, framing restructuring as a correction after pandemic‑era overexpansion.
